MIRPUR: Pakistan all-rounder Hussain Talat suffered a shoulder injury during the second one-day international against Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday.
The incident occurred on the second delivery of the sixth over of Bangladesh's innings when Talat ran to stop a backfoot punch by Litton Das off Mohammad Wasim Jr from reaching the deep cover boundary and crashed into the advertising holding during the effort.
Talat looked in extreme discomfort while receiving medical attention and was subsequently substituted.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) gave an update about Talat's injury on Saturday, saying that the all-rounder sustained a left shoulder joint dislocation while fielding during the second ODI against Bangladesh.
He received immediate medical attention on the field and was later transferred to a hospital for specialised treatment, where he underwent a successful closed reduction procedure. He remained stable and has since been discharged.
After an initial period of rest, Talat will report to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) to begin his phased rehabilitation, with an estimated return to play of 12-14 weeks.
The Green Shirts levelled the three-match series against Bangladesh after clinching a 128-run victory in the second ODI.
